DECATUR, Ala. - Police are investigating after a toddler was found dead in the baptistery of a Decatur church.
Local media reports say 22-month-old Brayden King was unresponsive when paramedics arrived at the Pentecostal House of Prayer around 7:45 p.m Friday. His family was attending a prayer service.
Police say church members were doing CPR on the boy, who was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A statement from Decatur police says it seems the boy got into the church baptistery, which was full of water, and appears to have drowned.
An autopsy is set for Monday at a state forensics lab in Huntsville. Morgan County Coroner Jeff Chunn said an autopsy is standard for this kind of death and that investigators have no reason to suspect foul play.
